For those not familiar with the Pink Floyd song in question, I'll quote the beginning lyrics.

"When we grew up and went to school there were certain teachers who would hurt the children any way they could.
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
exposing every weakness however cleverly hidden by the kids."

Put in context, the chorus changes meaning entirely - not a rebelling against education per se, but against the pain and humiliation method of "teaching." Watching the film strengthens this point.

BTW, when is the last time you heard anyone say the word "yes"? I see it written, but all I ever hear is "yeah."
